| Did not sleep well last night but had a good day. Got a lot of work in and it was mostly the enjoyable kind (13 hr total). Still time for dinner and books with the family and after a little more work a nice evening run. If all days could have this balance it would be great. I would really like to see some > 40 mile weeks again. But for now I'll just be happy for whatever I can get. It was a nice night for a run.

| Very full day, but when aren't they? In a little earlier than yesterday but met family at pool for final 20 minutes of swim before dinner. After a couple more hours of work did a nice evening run. To Where the Sidewalk Ends...

| Long, long day, but productive. Had a deadline tomorrow and had some additional things come across my desk that made for a better story but took me a lot longer to process than I thought. 6am-4pm and 7pm-2:30am = no run. Maybe tomorrow...

| Not a typo, 3.5 hr of sleep. But getting a lot done and even with that sleep level still had a productive day. Warm out, hit 90s today. Still in the upper 70s when I ran. Maybe lower 80s. Teens out in force so I had some "motivation" during the run to keep me going. The best was the truck that raced me down the hill with the driver yelling "you are going 15 mph!!!" Obvoiusly most of the rest of the run was considerably slower with that average :)

| Even with the little sleep the night before still up before my alarm. Local meeting today so all day at that. Did finish a little early and made it home to join the family at the pool before dinner. Did just a couple miles on the treadmill after dinner.

| Slept in followed by a family run around the pound with the girls on their bikes. It was HOT that is what we get for sleeping in. Then did yard work before heading to a BBQ with some new work friends. About 10 families there in all.
